STANKY2 :DD APPRECIATION THREAD [and other staff :3]

Yes, let the cirlcejerk begin.

 

Thanks but - not needed.

The best appreciation that any of us staff can receive is when you come back day after day to play on this server. When you tell your friends, or when you play on other sites and mention us - when you bring people to us (without spamming of course) and say that we are the best. That is why we do the work, that is what makes it all worth it.

That said - recently someone said that I operate through fear and I take things too seriously. I wanted to address that. I may in fact operate through fear - you should fear breaking the rules, you should know that using xray even once to see how it works is bad, and that by not being honest when confronted about it is even worse. Fear of breaking the rules is a good thing in my opinion. I sometimes do enforce too strictly, especially when I see a name over and over in the forums - but generally I cut good players a break more than not. I will give noobs stuff they lost in a server reset and nobody sees it because - well - I'd get bombed with people asking for stuff.

As for taking the job too seriously... I don't. I take the rules seriously because they keep the server fun for everyone. But if you were in my office with me you wuoldn't see me sad or angry. I don't get emotional over game stuff. Maybe happy sometimes when a suspected xrayer finally fesses up... but really I'm just even keel making sure you all have an even playing field and that noobs have a chance to be decent players.

So as I said, if you appreciate me or Nat or the rest of the staff - on any level from Helper to OS - just keep playing, and keep telling the world to come play with you!

 

"donating" not paying

 

I approve this post! This is why I kept playing. My gameplay has never affected my real-life emotion, and I saw the same thing in the server staff here. One thing I noticed a while back was this server's persistence for justice - not punishment. You didn't have moody staff who just banned/kicked/jailed/muted at will, but a staff team who thoroughly investigated every instance of rule-breaking and ensured a just punishment was dealt. This was my first server, but I have seen much different server's since that time. This is the only place where I feel the staff aren't abstract, but players just like you, and willing to get to know more about you. It maintains the fun of the server to give it a nice "home" feeling. As for stanky being too harsh - I absolutely disagree. I may have thought that early on, but my opinion changed once I became active on the forums. If you are in disagreement, take a look through the forums and find another OS who has given an xrayer a 3rd chance in as many weeks! You probably won't find it. Overall, I think very highly of our server staff, and they feel like a part of my family (kinda).

 

Wooohooo! go stanky! all player thank you for donating your helpful time to this here server. And also, thanks to ALL staff members, for also choosing to take the task of improving and moderating this server anyway possible!


and Thank you Mgn, for being my friend and being completely awesome.
